Default FAA Goes after Chicago on Meigs

John Gaquin writes:

Are you kidding? Justice? Chicago gets 50 acres, m/l, of prime waterfront
land for 1.6 million. I'd take that deal any day of the week, and twice on
Sundays. Just wait a few years, til they figure a way to do away with the
park and auction off development rights. You'll see big, big smiles in the
Mayor's office, and a mile of 40 story condos.


Maybe. Is that land on bedrock, or is it reclaimed from the water? A
40-story building requires very solid foundations, much more so than a
runway.
